Translocation

Conservation translocation is a species recovery technique that involves the intentional movement and release of individuals to improve the conservation status of the species, and/or restore natural ecosystem functions or processes. Conservation translocations can include releases either within or outside the species native range. Translocations may move animals sourced from wild or captive populations.

About Us

Wildlife Preservation Canada saves animals on the brink of extinction. Since 1985, we’ve been saving critically endangered species – species whose numbers in the wild are so low that a great deal more than habitat protection is required to recover them.
